Olivia Munn has shared a sneaky look at her X-Men: Apocalypse character on set of the upcoming film.

And she looks like she is straight out of the comic books.

To ring in the New Year, the actress shared five of her favourite moments from 2015, and number four was naturally her time on the set of the anticipated flick.

‘To say hello to 2016, I’m gonna say GOODBYE TO 2015 with my Top 5 Favorite Memories of 2015 (that I can think of),’ she wrote alongside the picture of her dressed in character.

‘#4 Getting to play #Psylocke in #xmenapocalypse. She’s a telekinetic telepath who chooses to kill with a sword because she wants to do it up close and intimate because killing from afar just seems too easy and no fun.’

In 2015 Olivia, a newcomer to the X-Men franchise, defended her character’s outfit, saying it didn’t matter what she wore because she was ‘very strong and she’s very lethal and she’s very powerful’.

She told Entertainment Weekly: ‘I’ve got like my thigh-highs and a halter, but the thing about that, and that was important, is that it doesn’t matter what I’m wearing as long as we’re all aware of who she is.

Other newcomers to the franchise include Sophie Turner (Picture: 20th Century Fox)

‘She’s very strong and she’s very lethal and she’s very powerful, and it doesn’t really matter what she’s wearing as long as you have that strength and that presence.’

Still, those bizarre leg straps are going to start cutting off her blood supply if she isn’t careful.
